I will give You my life

I will give You my life

The city burst into fighting and very soon it was war
Most of them don't even know what they're fighting for
My apartment quakes and shudders from the bombs
People huddled in shelters bravely sing songs

God! I'm so scared I just want get out of here and run
But then I would just be killed by someone with a gun
I feel so trapped in this place like there's no way out
So I begin to talk to God the only way I know how

If I could just get through this somehow
If I could just make it through this alive
Dear God, I promise You right here, right now
I will give You my life, I give You my life

I will give You . . .
I will give . . .

. . . my life . . .
